Ingredients
Ingredients:
1 cup raisins
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ cup roasted slivered almonds
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup diced yellow onion
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 cups cooked wheat berries
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
Lemon juice to taste
Chopped parsley
Directions:
Toast the almonds in a skillet. Put the raisins in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and set aside to plump.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over moderate heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the turmeric and orange zest and sauté 3 minutes.
Place the wheat berries in a medium saucepan; add raisins and a half cup of the raisin liquid. In a separate pan, combine one half cup of the raisin soaking liquid, plus the orange juice, spices and salt and bring to a boil.
Pour this over the wheat berries and cover. Let sit for 10 minutes then stir with a fork.
Drain the raisins of any remaining liquid. Toss the raisins, onions, and almonds with the wheat berries. Top with parsley.
